Frequently asked questions

Questions People Ask After a Serious Fall

It is the legal principle holding property owners and managers responsible for injuries that occur on their land or inside their buildings due to unsafe, unmaintained, or hazardous conditions.

Report the hazard to management immediately to ensure an official incident report is created, take photos of the exact defect that caused the fall, gather witness contact details, and seek medical care.

Yes, commercial property owners must maintain safe conditions or provide clear warnings about hidden hazards that they know about, or reasonably should know about, to protect visiting customers.

Yes, depending on the circumstances. If the warning sign was poorly placed, hidden from view, or if the property owner left an unsafe hazard active for too long, they can still be held partially or fully liable.

Notice means proving the property owner either created the hazard, knew it existed, or that the defect was present for a long enough time that a reasonable owner should have discovered and fixed it.

You generally have two years from the exact date of the incident to file a personal injury claim. Because businesses routinely overwrite video surveillance and repair physical defects quickly, starting your legal action immediately is critical.
